    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Computational Optics

    Background:

    • Decentered ablations in refractive surgery, caused by errors, lead to visual disturbances like glare and halos.
    • Current wavefront-guided retreatment methods have limitations in accurately measuring and correcting large aberrations in extreme cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a simple, inexpensive, non-wavefront-guided numerical algorithm for refractive surgery retreatment.
    • To recenter the optical zone (OZ) and correct refractive errors while minimizing corneal tissue removal.

    Main Methods:

    • Reconstructing the ablation profile from the first surgery.
    • Calculating a target ablation profile with adequate centration and OZ size.
    • Deriving a net ablation map for retreatment by combining achieved and target ablations.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed algorithm enables OZ recentering and expansion, correcting spherical aberrations and coma.
    • Simulations indicate minimal tissue removal, preserving corneal thickness.
    • The method effectively modulates lower-order refractive components during retreatment.

    Conclusions:

    • This numerical algorithm offers a tissue-saving and cost-effective alternative for refractive surgery retreatments, especially in complex cases.
    • It has the potential to improve visual outcomes in patients with extreme decentration and large aberrations.
    • The method provides an uncomplicated approach for optical zone adjustment and refractive error correction.
